Conor looks fucking huge in those clips. How much weight is he cutting for this fight?
Considering he weighed in for the Diaz fights right around 168, I'd say he's cutting no more than 15-20 lbs. to get to the 153 limit for this one.Quote:

Floyd is also small for 154 so this makes the weight difference appear bigger. I bet Conor is smaller for this cut, closer to 160. The size advantage isn't as important in boxing as it is in MMA.Quote:

the size of conor's biceps in that video make me assume that went out the window at some point, he looks well north of 170 there but maybe hes just swoll from the workout.

Mayweather at 149 is definitely looking to use his speed.
I'm on:
McGregor punches landed under 15% -130
Mayweather inside the distance -150
McGregor punches landed under 9.5 +650
I thought Conor looked a bit thin in the face, may have been a difficult cut and I'm sure I was wrong about his pre cut weight. I dont think that will benefit him much, I see him gassing pretty early in the fight and getting chewed up.
I feel pretty good about Conor getting tired and breaking down. His core just doesn't look strong. I think Floyd works the body punches, wears him down and stops him.Quote:

Granted, that was over a year ago, but I don't believe for a second he's prepared enough to handle what Mayweather is going to bring.
In the first Diaz fight Conor really struggled with the body shots. I also am still very suspicious of Conors legit toughness. I think he's a wonderful front runner but I think he has very suspect toughness.Quote:

i legit wish this fight wasnt happening.
I feel like it will be a severe let down. Floyd should dominate him badly.
But I still feel like this
Yeah, I got all my hatin' out of my system, now I just hope it gets weird or interesting. And if it doesn't, I'll still be half drunk at least, and nobody will be punching me in the face, so its still kinda win win anyway.Quote:
